TO ALLOW THE ISSUANCE OF A DIGITIZED IDENTIFICATION CARD; TO AMEND THE LAW CONCERNING THE FEE FOR ISSUANCE OF A DIGITIZED DRIVER'S LICENSE OR DIGITIZED IDENTIFICATION CARD; AND TO DECLARE AN EMERGENCY.

HB 1135 allows Arkansas residents to obtain a digital version of their state identification card (in addition to the existing digital driver's license option) through a mobile app. It sets a $10 fee for this service, which must be paid at the time of application or renewal, and requires the digital ID to display the user's current license status (valid, expired, etc.). The law specifies that digital IDs can be used by both public and private entities for any purpose requiring a physical ID, but does not replace the physical card. This bill directly affects Arkansans with valid driver's licenses or state ID cards who choose to use the digital option.
